Describe the feature you'd like

After performing any search, the results are shown at the top of the page.
However, by clicking on the result (for example, a page), you go to the specific content, but it's necessary to use the browser search to view the exact query (word/s).
I suggest improving the search feature by positioning the cursor on the exact searched text and highlighting it after clicking on a search result.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

The user can Immediately view the searched text.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Yes, by using the browser search, but it's a waste of time, it's not convenient, and it should be a function of the app anyway.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues, and none cover my fundamental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

Under 3 months

Thanks for the request @nicfab but I feel this is already covered by #4263 so I'm going to therefore close this off.
